How to configure for ARM native compiler.

[Khem Raj]

You  are trying to use ARM RVCT linker and assembler as backend to gcc which
is not going to work. The assembly syntax is quite different. So the
assembly output generated by gcc can not be consumed by RVCT assembler.

Btw. I am not sure if you can use ARM tools to build gcc.

Hi ,

      I am trying to build a Native compiler for ARM. I will use the
compiler  on ARM target to generate ARM  target .

 I tried below  syntax to configure the GCC  on linux os.

 ../gcc-3.4.2/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ --target=arm-elf
--host=arm-linux
--with-as=../../root/ARM_builds/dist_118_linux-pentium/RVCT/Programs/2.2/453
/linux-pentium/armasm
--with-ld=../../root/ARM_builds/dist_118_linux-pentium/RVCT/Programs/2.2/453
/linux-pentium/armlink
--with-cpu-ARM --build=i386-redhat-linux


But i am getting error when trying to bootstrap it.
I gave command "make bootstrap ".It is giving error as

guessing bigendian ...
unknown
configure: error: unknown endianess - sorry
/root/venkat/gcc-3.4.2/libiberty/configure: line 3289: exit: please:
numeric argument required
/root/venkat/gcc-3.4.2/libiberty/configure: line 3289: exit: please:
numeric argument required
make: *** [configure-libiberty] Error 1

So where in configure, i need to specify the endianness...

MAny Thanks,
Venkat.
